Help your daughter ID her coin by teaching her the trick of working backwards. ID the reverse first. Then, see who issued that reverse type and,...
I wish I could participate in this one but I have shown my cheap coins along the way in my last two coin show reports and plan to bore you when I...
The V or Y matter is made worsened by the fact that the people who used these letters originally did not always write upsilon the same way. For...
Like this? [ATTACH]
this study was early in the realization that studies based on surface readings were flawed. As a result they drilled a small hole in the edge of...
See http://akropoliscoins.com/page8.html Most start with Vpi or "by the legate" but I do not know what this legate used VI instead. What you...
I believe gold is a relatively common impurity in silver. I believe I recall owning a Sikyon once that had a small streak of yellow on the silver...
These are unusual for just that reason. If they had a city name, I'd call them Provincial. If they had SC, Imperial. As is, both seems like a...
There are enough different provincials that it sometimes seems hard to find two that match in our little group. I guess that is what we have to...
Your coin was estimated 'unreasonably low'; the Otacilia was obscenely so. I can't say it should have been estimated at hat it realized but 1000...
We see several postings of really interesting coins of Roman Alexandria and series from some other cities of note but Provincial coins were made...
And here we have the best thing about digital photography. 'Film' is free. Take a thousand versions and pick the one that makes you happy. I...
Excellent coin! Of course it drove me to research a bit and discover that the type was continued for quite a while (through Gallienus?) and is...
That is a nice coin and well worth the effort to get the photo just the way you want it. I suggest you consider reshooting the coin on black...
A difference I see here is that JA's rarity is a very nice coin with good detail and full legends/mintmark. If I were going to pay a lot for a...
This is a good example of a thorny question. This is a very common type of a very commpn emperor but it is vastly more common from other mints and...
Certainly it is a great coin but I would prefer a photo that used higher angle and softer lighting so the deep shadows did not hide important...
Henry: Perhaps Beneit on Lund? http://www.psdetecting.com/Inscriptions-John-&-HenryIII.html
The Henry reads .....on Lvnd so it is London but I do not get the moneyer. The Edward reads CIVITAS LONDON so it is also London city but has no...
All I ask is that we get what we pay for in both coins and service and are treated like customers, not fools. When we continue to patronize...
